EARTH

TUFA

Hello, and a warm welcome to the Mail Art Project of the TUFA in Trier.

Art by post!

Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the TUFA in Trier with the Mail Art Project! In 2010 the Arts Centre of the City of Trier, the cloth factory (locally known as the Tuchfabrik, abbreviated to TUFA,) will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Earlier the TUFA was indeed a cloth mill, producing cloth. Now the TUFA is an arts centre, producing cultural assets with theatre, music, art, dance, literature etc. The TUFA has excellent exhibition rooms in which we would like to feature a jubilee display. You can join in!

Artists, painters, graphic artists, photographers, poets and those who would like to be, coming from Trier and its partner towns throughout the world: LET'S HEAR FROM YOU BY POST!
Please send us an artistic postcard on the theme of TUFA the Arts Centre, on the subject of cloth and/or celebrating our birthday. Any format that reaches us by post will be admitted.
All original work signed and stamped reaching us by 30th June 2010 (no emails please) will be included in the autumn 2010 exhibition. Your postcards will be uploaded onto the internet and we hope to create an exhibition catalogue there.

What will happen to the postcards after the exhibition?

We would like to take care of the cards, perhaps to exhibit them in one or several partner towns, or auction them for charitable causes.

Send your postcards to:
Mail-Art-Projekt
TUFA Trier
Wechselstrasse 4-6
54290 Trier
Deutschland/Germany

Don't forget to include your address or email address. You may well hear back from us by post!
The TUFA Arts Committee persons:
Rainer Breuer, Martina Diedrich, Herbert Lauer, Gabriele Lohberg.
By participation in the Mail-Art-Projekt, artists cede ownership rights free of charge to the TUFA within the framework of its catalogue and poster print and internet media.

Our project is still in its infancy and lots more remains to be said by way of introduction, so we have no more info as yet. This will change in the coming weeks, as soon as for example, we can give you the exact date of the exhibition, when we receive the first postcards and answer any questions that you may have etc. We invite you above all to send in plenty of creative input (artistic postcards), which we would like to exhibit as creatively as possible.
Have fun!
From the TUFA Arts Committee.

Chinese Mail-Art

On May 3rd 2010 I started this small research project. Where are the chinese mail-artists? First I have to ask the question. Als I made add & pass on papers which I will send into the Network. What I hope for is to connect to some Chinese Mail-Artists and integrate them into the global network.

In the 80-ies I did have some contacts with Chinese artists. Also because artists from the USA worked inside China and arranged some contacts. Nowadays hina grows, but the connections in our global Mail-Art network have not been established. Maybe this small project will bring some changes.

I will keep you updated on what happens and what this reserach brings by blogging all about what happens after I started this project.

IUOMA Rubber Stamp - You want one?

Hello Ruud,

You've inspired me once again...I'd like to do another run of the IOUMA rubber stamps which you already have in your collection. The same one pictured in your book, which says "Apply to become a member Become a member by applying" just like it is with the logo and the scalloped border, etc. I'm willing and interested in distributing it thru the mail directly to those interested, at least for a limited time, at my cost. it would be $3.00 (U.S.) for unmounted rubber or $8.00 (U.S.) for mounted, which includes first class U.S. postage anywhere in the world. Do you think there would be an interest/demand for this? Would you list it on your IOUMA and other web sites? Do you think that it's a good idea, or one whose time has passed? Of course I understand that you can only guess at these answers.

Mail-Art project Russia

Open for per lustration
mail and public-art project
Curators: Andrey Suzdalev, Mikhail Pogarsky

Declaration:
(Through Black Cabinet)

Artists open for world always, and they make the art even from their private correspondence. That is why the attempt of decree about per lustration in Russia don’t compel to be more careful in our private correspondence. Art gain a victory over policy in this little single combat. The project slogan: "Open for per lustration" haven’t political aims. We are only informing about our civil position: "However hard you may try, you can't to infringement our rights!" And we remind about this in emphasize playing form, by means of mail-art.

History reference: In Russia the secret department (black cabinet) organized under Empress Elizaveta. This department opened private correspondence. The number of officials in black cabinets wasn't big. In 1829 it was 33 persons; in 1913 it was 45 persons. Of course under communist regime these activities mount to All-Russian scale. But always this department and all its decrees were secret, because these decrees broke All-world Post Convention, which was passed by Universal Post Union (Russia is the member of this union).
When we send our art-post works and run its through deferent black cabinets, we declare: "Open for perturbation! Now you know what we hid so carefully!" It is truth. Now, for example, you can know that some from us are birds, others say "Hello" to rain and wind, that our ideas fly in another space and we very like our good old post office.

In this concept we also have an interest to sources of art-collage, when German DaDa-artists John Heartfield and George Grosz sent collage post card to friends at the battle-front. If these post card world wrote, any censor confiscated its.

Work process
Project has 3 stages
1. Usual mail-art. Artists send post card, without any limited by themes and techniques.
2. Addressee, who receive post card, put it in envelopment, sticks the special sticker and sends to the address of museum. Addressee can supplement envelopment with new art details, if he wants.
3. After that catalogue will be published from the best post card, and post card from this catalogue put in some art places (museums, galleries, libraries ets.) and any people can send this card with these supplements.

Imaginary Word

I want to do a blog feature article on "mailart" for my readers: The theme is "IMAGINARY WORD, IMAGINARY DEFINITION".

I have a professional greeting card blog http://kateharperblog.blogspot.com/ with about 16,000 visitors/subscribers a month and people in my industry are clueless about mail art and I though it would be a great article. If Artists would like to have their mail art displayed, put contact info on the same side of art.(since I can only scan one side) and mail to

Your Doctor in Mail Art

Your Doctor in Mail Art

How do you see your doctor?

Is he/she a good help to you and do you feel blessed by having this good health care giver? Or are you afraid, angry and/or distrusting whenever you visit your doctor? Or is he/she invisible to you as until now you didn’t need any medical care at all? How would you translate your thoughts, vision, feelings, opinion about him or her into Mail Art?

For an online exhibition I’m looking for mail art which shows your doctor. A portrait, a situation, special things or whatever is welcomed, as long as it's clear that he/she is Your Doctor! All media are okay, preferable on postcard size (10x15 cms), maximum A4 (about 20x30 cms).

All entries will be published on http://yourdoctorinmailart.blogspot.com .
A selection of the mail art also will be part of an exhibition in a location where doctors have access to, probably in October 2010. For this exhibition the deadline is August 17th 2010.

See for further information http://yourdoctorinmailart.blogspot.com .

You can send your work to:
